That is true but I think emphasizing liquid sugar is particularly important. When I was young I tried to bulk (for sports) several times and ate an obscene amount of carbohydrates and protein, think like 8 hot dogs and half a gallon of milk for lunch... roughly 4k calories a day of carbs/protein/fat.

I never got past 220. I would get terrible heartburn and bloating and be too full to eat enough, 220 seemed to be about the max my body could obtain without severe discomfort. It always made me wonder how people get up into the 300+ range. Liquified sugar seems like the only food that your body can process efficiently enough to get you into those massive weight categories.
